So far it's fun. Think Titanfall but without the titans. You can't wall run but you can double jump and air dodge.

I really wish that they had made the game less uh, insta-kill, but I guess that's what every shooter does these days :(

I don't even understand the knife in this game. I can never land a hit and when I die to it the killcam shows me nowhere near it.

Game is pretty funny, though I havent had a CoD since MW2.

If anyone has this on PC I'd be up for some grouping.

also having a hard time making shotguns effective considering you can aim down sight in midair

are shotguns still dumb as hell or did they finally buff them? i remember in blops they still had a range of like 4 feet and the bullets magically disappeared after that

They still have that range, only now it's harder to get in close to people because of jump jets and poo poo.

don't get me wrong, I have pulled off some nice insta-kills with them, but that doesn't make up for all the times where I come up against someone at mid range and I'm a free kill

I hate to say it but, Titanfall is the better multiplayer fps. At least for now. This has gotten pretty boring because assault rifles are the only good weapon, and the joy of aerial battles are kinda undercut by how little health you have.

But hey, this made Titanfall go on sale for $10 so I consider it a wash.

I'll play the single player at some point.

I also played it on release but I had it refunded because I didn't like it, but it's gotten better since then.

it just wasn't very fun because every game was a landslide because they didn't implement basic loving things like autobalancing.

but now it has that, so, yay.

Why do the peasants slave while the emperor gets to eat all the mung?!
Never-mind the inevitable trolling from the scrawny, no-stem degree, non weight lifting, dead-end job apartment bums or the ugly, fat pink, boys who spend more time with playstation than their ugly wives who they stupidly forgot to prenup. These are the same clowns who always go out of their way to type "my gf/wife" on msg boards because their not even used to female attention. People don't make a big deal out of things that come easy.

On to the review. This is about as "new" as you can be while still keeping the game CoD. I'm as big a CoD basher as they come, and this game screams "effort." The graphics are great, the sound is pretty good, and the jet packs really change how gun fights go down and how you get across the map. It makes it easy to defeat campers by just gliding past them.

The maps are well made, too. They aren't all cramped mazes like infinity ward maps tend to be. These remind me of Black Ops 1 maps. They are kind of big and mostly open, but there are some tight spaces throughout the maps.

The time to kill is fine, too. It isn't ridiculously fast like Ghosts, but it isn't Uncharted long either. Sometimes, you can escape being killed if caught off guard.

I didn't review the campaign, because I mainly buy shooters for online play.
